Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor
Chapter 269 - 269 267 Medicine King Himself First Update

269: Chapter 267: Medicine King Himself [First Update] 269: Chapter 267: Medicine King Himself [First Update] When Li Chen arrived at the Qin Family Mansion, Qin Tianlong and his son were both there.

“Mr.

Qin, this is Zhao Yuqing.

She will be staying here for a while, please arrange a room for her!”

Upon entering, Li Chen got straight to the point and made his intentions clear.

Qin Tianlong glanced at Zhao Yuqing and noticed she was as beautiful as his daughter, Qin Qingwu.

A complex expression flickered through his eyes.

However, he didn’t pay much attention to this.

For someone like Immortal Master Li, a stunning martial arts prodigy, how could he be bound by the daughter of one family?

To receive his mercy was already a stroke of luck; one could not demand too much, as going overboard would be counterproductive.

“Leader, someone outside is asking to see you by name, they are currently waiting in the living room!”

After resolving Zhao Yuqing’s issue, Qin Feng stepped forward to report.

Li Chen waved his hand and said, “No, I’m not in the mood!”

Seeing Li Chen’s expression, Qin Feng carefully weighed his words and added, “They said they are from the Imperial Capital Li Family!”

Upon hearing “Imperial Capital Li Family,” Li Chen’s face slightly changed.

Suddenly, it seemed he had thought of something and asked, “Did they come in a military Land Rover with the license plate Beijing VXXXX?”

Qin Feng was startled by Li Chen’s question.

Truly a leader, with just a flick of his fingers, he knew what car they came in and even recited the exact license plate number.

For this skill alone, you couldn’t help but admire him.

“Yes, that’s the vehicle!”

Seeing his guess confirmed, Li Chen began to ponder the other party’s intentions.

“Qin Feng, did they say what they want?”

Qin Feng shook his head, “No, they did not.”

Li Chen gestured dismissively and said, “Then tell them I’m not here and ask them to come back another day!”

“Leader, they are from the Imperial Capital Li Family.

If we do not meet them, I’m afraid it might not be good,” Qin Feng cautiously said upon seeing Li Chen intended to decline meeting with the Li Family.

The Huaxia had seven top-ranking great families, and the Imperial Capital Li Family was publicly ranked first.

In the past, even a distant relative from the Li Family would receive treatment as if they were a state guest at the Qin Family.

Moreover, judging by the aura of those three people, it was clear they were not side branch members.

If they were turned away, Qin Feng worried that it might lead to enmity.

However, Li Chen had no such concerns.

“I’m not in the mood now, and it doesn’t matter if they’re from the Imperial Capital Li Family or even King Yan himself; I will not see them!”

Seeing a hint of impatience in Li Chen’s tone, Qin Feng did not say any more and dejectedly withdrew.

Once Qin Feng had left, Li Chen carelessly flipped through a dossier on the coffee table and absentmindedly asked, “Mr.

Qin, has there been any movement from the Great Jiangnan Justice Alliance recently, initiated by the Heavenly Master Sect?”

Qin Tianlong respectfully replied, “They’ve been quite active, and the preparations are extensive.

However, the Grandmaster Level figures rarely show up to participate; it’s mainly those at lower levels causing trouble.”

Li Chen flipped another page and asked, “Oh, have they been to Yanzhou or caused any trouble in Hang City?”

Qin Tianlong shook his head, “No, they just stir up trouble in the surrounding areas.

It’s all minor issues, with no big waves being created.”

“By the way, Leader, there’s one more thing.

The Central Plains Medicine King Valley suddenly accepted an invitation from the Heavenly Master Sect’s Xuan Nan to join the Great Jiangnan Justice Alliance.

Two days ago, Master of Medicine King Valley, Sunx Baiyang, personally visited the Heavenly Master Sect to discuss the alliance matters!”

Hearing the name “Medicine King Valley,” Li Chen’s brow furrowed slightly.

The Sunx Family of Medicine King Valley and the Zhang Family of Medical Saint Sect both have a thousand-year heritage in apricot forest medicine.

The two families have been openly and secretly competing for the title of Master Xinglin for a thousand years.

However, since the Republic, the Sunx Family engaged in political opportunism and surpassed the Medical Saint Sect, becoming the de facto powerhouse of Huaxia apricot forest medicine.

The founder of Medicine King Valley, Medicine King Sun Simiao, was a once-in-a-millennium prodigy among the medical community.

In the thirteen hundred years following him, only Li Shizhen of the mid Ming Dynasty could somewhat rival his achievements in certain respects.

Moreover, Sun Simiao was not only a master physician but also a Taoist Master with the power to summon wind and rain and subdue dragons and tigers.

Performing pulse diagnoses with hanging threads, guarding the apricot forest, and being dubbed the Medicine King and the healing dragon – all these accomplishments came from his hand.

He lived through three dynasties and passed away at the age of 141.

[Note 1]

After listening to Qin Tianlong’s account, Li Chen paused to think for a moment, then asked, “The Medicine King Valley is located north of the Yangtze River and rarely operates in Jiangnan.

Why would they suddenly agree to Heavenly Master Sect’s invitation?”

Qin Tianlong thought for a moment and replied, “The specifics are still unclear.

However, according to the information we obtained from our spies within the Heavenly Master Sect, Sunx Baiyang wants to obtain a Divine Medicine in Lingnan.

Fearing unexpected events along the way, he sought the assistance of the Heavenly Master Sect, and thus the two sides struck the deal swiftly!”

Upon hearing Qin Tianlong’s words, Li Chen’s pupils tightened sharply.

Sunx Baiyang himself was a Taoist Master and a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Besides him, Medicine King Valley openly has at least two more Great Grandmasters.

It would indeed take something formidable to cause concern for three Great Grandmasters, probably only the so-called National Guardian Beast in Lingnan’s Divine Dragon Pond.

This matter seems to be getting more and more interesting!

“Mr.

Qin, gather all the information on Lingnan, especially regarding the Divine Dragon Pond.

I have great use for it!”

Qin Tianlong pondered for a moment, then asked, “Alliance Hierarch, do you also plan to take a trip to Lingnan?”

Li Chen nodded and replied, “Indeed, that’s exactly what I intend to do!”

Qin Tianlong asked, “Do you want to bring some people with you?”

Li Chen waved his hand and said, “No need; I can go alone.

Bringing more people would offer little advantage, and it might even alert the enemy.”

Seeing Li Chen’s resolute tone, Qin Tianlong did not pursue the topic further.

Next, Li Chen inquired about some information regarding Heavenly Net and Miao Territory.

Since the incident at Yandang Mountain where Li Chen killed three Grandmasters of Heavenly Net, there had been no news from there at all.

It was like the incident had never happened.

Great disturbances are often preceded by calm!

The calmer the surface, the more turbulent the undercurrents.

Vaguely, Li Chen had an uneasy premonition.

He felt that Heavenly Net was brewing a major storm, a bloody tempest that could sweep through the entire realm of Huaxia Martial Arts.

As for Miao Territory, the situation seemed quite volatile.

One of the Three Sects of Miao Territory, the Yin Ghost Sect, and the leading one among the Seven Great Families, the Wu Family, were interacting quite frequently, apparently also looking to jump on the trend and form alliances.

Qin Tianlong might not yet grasp their intentions, but Li Chen clearly understood.

It must be that the higher echelons of the Yin Ghost Sect, frightened by the thunderous threats, feared that he might really come knocking on their door and level their Mountain Sect, so they’re preparing to cast their Heavenly Net and Earth Network, ready to welcome the arrival of Immortal Master Li.

However, Li Chen wasn’t too concerned about this.

As long as the Yin Ghost Sect and the Wu Family stayed cooped up in Miao Territory and didn’t cause trouble, he couldn’t care less about them!

Going to Miao Territory to crush their Mountain Sect was inevitable, but now was not the time.

The current priority still was to secure the Divine Medicine, Dragon Blood Fruit, in Lingnan’s Divine Dragon Pond before the people from Medicine King Valley could get there first.

While Li Chen and Qin Tianlong talked, suddenly, the sound of weapons clashing came from the front hall.

There was a fight going on, and judging from the clamor, it was between two Great Grandmasters!

…

Note 1: The Medicine King mentioned in this chapter, as well as the Medical Saint mentioned before, are both historical figures.

There is scholarly debate regarding Sun Simiao’s age.

In this novel, Little Le adopts the account from the official history “Old Book of Tang, Biography of Sun Simiao,” which places his birth around the first year of Emperor Xiaomin of Northern Zhou (circa 541) and his death in the first year of Yongchun (682), making him 141 years old.
